Well, H1B visas do not expand the labor pool. H1B visas allow members of an already expanded labor pool to join and contribute to the US economy.
The alternative to fewer H1B visas is not just hiring Americans. In fact, hiring Americans is far less likely than simply hiring Indians and letting them work in India. Or, as is happening increasingly, having Chinese and Indian employees who were educated in the US, move to Canada.
- throwaway5752 7y agoCan those of us born in the US and educated there be moved to Canada by FAANGs? If that's already happening by all means reply and let me know how to get in on it before all the stuff really hits the fan in the US.
- lazaroclapp 7y agoSure. Definitely already a thing! I know plenty of people from the US who joined a company in the US with international offices and then transferred (temporarily or permanently) to an office somewhere else. Singapore comes to mind, but I am sure the case for Canada is even easier (given NAFTA and similar). You could also just directly apply to a position that happens to be in Canada, e.g. https://careers.google.com/locations/toronto/?hl=en https://careers.google.com/locations/toronto/?hl=en By the way, you actually might not need any FAANG (or other Canadian employer) help: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/start-visa/eligibility.html https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/se...
